This team is a complete joke. A team that takes a superstar in his prime, surrounds him with the worst fitting supporting cast possible, and proceeds to miss the playoffs in the worst eastern conference in NBA history, is a joke. A coach who preaches accountability, but then plays favorites that are not dependent upon… More

Why are the Knicks struggling this season? There are lots of plausible explanations, including: The team’s curious decision to retool and play a bigger lineup despite extensive evidence that they’re much better off playing small Dismal point guard play, partly due to injury and partly due to Raymond Felton’s general ineffectiveness Iman Shumpert’s inconsistency JR… More

Traffic is thick during the six o’clock hour in Mid-Town Manhattan. People are bustling their way towards the PATH Train. I only have an address and a faint description of where I’m headed. Terminal 23 at Café Rogue, next to Hotel Pennsylvania. The Hotel Pennsylvania was an added variable to the directions that confused me,… More

We shouted in our huddle, “Energy and Jordan.” For the next two-and-a-half hours, it was our goal to keep our energy at a high level, while holding the Jordan Brand as an icon for success. Last night, a group of about 20 guys took in the motivation by our coach at the Melo M10 experience,… More

The Knicks’ 102-92 win against the Heat on national television on Thursday night was a close up shot of Carmelo Anthony’s complexity as a player. In the first half Anthony took 16 of New York’s 42 shots – 36 percent of them, in case you like Darren Rovell math. He was 6-16 with 13 points,… More

At 13-22, the Knicks are a long way from celebrating anything, but after two months of rotten, disinterested basketball, it’s time to acknowledge a… More

The idea that the Knicks “should explore” trades involving Carmelo Anthony is, of course, nonsense. There’s only one person who can decide whether or not ‘Melo will be dealt. That person is Carmelo Anthony. The situation is eerily similar to the last round of “Melo-drama,” when Anthony forced the trade that brought him to New… More

The Knicks were so brutal tonight that they almost broke my will to write prose. Here, instead, are some attempts at Shakespearian Knickspearian Sonnets (Iambic Pentameter be damned!), haiku’s, and limericks (with some sparse prose) that describe just how brutal the Knicks are: The Knicks cannot defend a pick and roll Mike Woodson is still utterly… More

On April 2, 2008, after seven terrible years in the wilderness, the New York Knicks, in most unKnicksian fashion, went full-stop on their parabolically accelerating shit show and shocked the world by implementing a complete gut rebuild. In the interest of transparency and, more importantly, to help manage expectations, Donnie Walsh steeled Gotham’s faithful fans, promising just… More
